I don't find it that big a problem: never had people using Ion installed by admins in a school or so ask for help for old versions, and I suppose people are more aware that in a school lab, the admin is first to blame for obsolete software. After all, _they_ haven't personally installed the program _recently_, and may be inclined to find out whether the admin's fucked up. Or maybe just people who know better to bug the author, don't use ion installed by school lab admins. But if they've just personally installed it from a distro site -- which is unfortunately too much easier than packages that authors can provide, giving the distros a de facto central control over software installs -- they seem to expect to be using an official source and get something that the author also supports. This needs to change, and the author again become the primary source for the software. -- Tuomo
